I'm a ^D tangle up ^Dmaj7 puppet ^Bm spinning round in ^A7 knots And the ^A more I see of what ^A7 used to be, the ^A less of you I [D] got

^D There was a time that you ^Dmaj7 curled up in my ^Bm lap like a [D] child You'd ^G cling to me [G/f#] smiling your [G/e] eyes wide and ^G wild Now you ^Bm slip through my ^D arms, wave a ^Bm passing [G/e] hello ^A Twist away , and ^A7 toss a kiss, ^A laughing as you ^D go

^D You used to say, 'Read me a ^Dmaj7 story, and ^Bm sing me songs of ^D love' For ^G you were Princess [G/f#] Paradise, on the [G/e] wings of a [G] dove Now I ^Bm chase you and ^D tease you trying to ^Bm remake you my [G/E] own But ^A you just turn ^A7 away and say, ^A 'Please leave me ^D alone.' [A]

And I'm a ^D tangled up ^Dmaj7 puppet, all ^Bm hanging in your [A7] strings I'm a ^A butterfly in a ^A7 spider's web, ^A fluttering my ^D wings And the ^D more that I keep ^Dmaj7 dancing, and ^Bm spinning 'round in ^A7 knots The ^A more I see what ^A7 used to be and the ^A less of you I ^D got

You are a ^D drawer full of ^Dmaj7 make-up and ^Bm rinses and ^D things You keep ^G changing your [G/f#] moods like your [G/e] earrings and [G] rings But ^Bm tonight while we played ^D tag for five ^Bm minutes in the [G/E] yard Well, ^A just for a ^A7 moment, I ^A caught you off ^D guard [A]

And I'm a ^D tangled up ^Dmaj7 puppet all ^Bm hanging in your ^A7 strings; I'm a ^A butterfly in a ^A7 spider's web, ^A fluttering my ^D wings And the ^D more that I keep ^Dmaj7 dancing, and ^Bm spinning 'round in ^A7 knots, The ^A more I see what ^A7 used to be and the ^A less of you I ^D got

But for ^Bm now you write your ^G secret poems in a ^A room just for your ^Bm dreams You ^G don't find time to ^Bm talk to me ^A about the things you mean. . . What I ^G mean is

I have ^D watched you takes ^Dmaj7 shape from a ^Bm jumble of ^D parts And ^G find the grace and [G/f#] form of a [G/e] fine work of ^G art Hey, ^Bm you, my brand new ^D woman, newly ^Bm come into your [G/E] own, ^A Don't you know that ^A7 you don't need to ^A grow up all ^D alone

I hope you all enjoyed that one. Ken Reynolds ( ltwu46b@prodigy.com )
